Our goal is to educate the North Jersey and New York City area about the benefits of massage therapy and healthy touch. We endeavor to educate the community through our website, by making ourselves available for public speaking, by presenting holistically oriented workshops and by providing written articles for media distribution.

Are You Stressed?

It's a fact! We all encounter at least some stress every day. Thankfully, not all stress is bad. Some types of stress can even be great fun—think of the stress that comes with competing in our favorite sport, the stress we feel on our wedding day, or the stress of completing a special project at deadline. In each of these events, the stress is exhilirating!

Unfortunately, most types of stress are not so pleasant. In fact, long term (or chronic) stress can be very serious, afffecting us both physically and emotionally. It has been estimated that as many as 90% of doctor’s visits are for symptoms that are at least partially stress-related!

Stress related disorders include:

• Pain of any kind
• Heart disease
• Digestive problems
• Sleep problems
• Depression
• Obesity
• Autoimmune diseases
• Skin conditions, such as eczema
